Custom software · Franchise & multi-location operations
I'm George Khoury, a software engineer with four years at a FAANG company. Khoury Consulting builds custom systems for franchise and multi-location operators: the kind that quietly remove six and seven figures of waste from the way you already run your business.
Currently taking on new projects for 2026
Where the work shows up
What I do
Every engagement starts the same way: understand the money, then build the smallest thing that moves it.
When you run ten, fifty, or two hundred locations, small inefficiencies multiply. I build the internal tooling that makes the whole network run like one well-instrumented business.
Have a product idea or an internal process that lives in spreadsheets? I take it from a napkin sketch to something real, deployed, and maintainable, without an agency-sized bill.
Case study
Handel's franchise owners were running a high-volume, highly perishable business on manual processes: guesswork on production, ordering, and labor, repeated across every location, every single day.
I built custom software tailored to how those stores actually operate: tracking what gets made and sold, tightening ordering against real demand, and giving owners visibility into the numbers that decide whether a shift is profitable.
The result: an estimated $4M in annual savings across the operation, from reduced waste, sharper purchasing, and better-matched labor. The system is in production and used daily.
Savings figure is an internal estimate based on operational cost reductions attributed to the system.
How it works
No discovery theater, no rotating cast of junior contractors. You talk to the person writing the code.
A free call to map where cost, time, or revenue is leaking. If software isn't the answer, I'll say so.
A fixed, written plan: what gets built, what it costs, when it ships, and how we'll measure whether it worked.
Working software in front of you early and often. You see progress weekly, not at the end.
Deployed, documented, and monitored, with the option to keep me on retainer as things evolve.
About
I spent four years at a FAANG company building systems where reliability and scale weren't optional. That's a useful education, but the most rewarding work I've done has been for businesses where a single well-built tool changes the P&L.
Khoury Consulting exists for exactly that: operators who know something is broken, know it's expensive, and want an engineer who will dig into the actual business before writing a line of code. You get senior-level work without the layers, and a system your team will still be using in five years.
Most operations don't need more software. They need the right software, built by someone who understood the problem first. George Khoury, Principal
Questions
Mostly franchise groups and multi-location operators, plus founders building a first product. If you have enough volume that a manual process is costing real money, there's usually something worth building.
Fixed-price for well-defined projects, monthly retainer for ongoing work. You'll get a written scope with a number in it before anything starts. No hourly surprises.
Yes. You own the source, the infrastructure, and the accounts. Nothing is locked to me, and everything ships documented enough that another engineer could pick it up.
That's a good reason to call. The first conversation is free and diagnostic. If the fix is a process change or an off-the-shelf tool, I'll point you there instead of selling you a build.
Typically within two to three weeks of a signed scope. Reach out with a rough description of the problem and I'll tell you honestly what the timeline looks like.
Tell me what's slow, manual, or leaking money in your operation. The first call is free, and you'll leave it with a straight answer about whether it's worth building.
